Is there a warranty on the supercharger?
If so i would say that is a good deal for the parts being they are brand new.

[Renegade 800]

Yes it has a warranty. Nice detailed install sheets too.

You got it !!! Ca kit uses a GT air box. HiPo kit uses a CAI with K&N filter and a 2.8 pulley

here's a dyno clip Mustang V6 X-Charger Dyno Run - Truveo Video Search



The California Spec X-CHARGER uses a stock Mustang GT airbox with 80mm Mass Air Supernatural Performance


Not sure about that rear !!! Don't forget about upgrading suspension,brakes,tires

I'm skeptical about the "GT killer" phrase here, This thing ends up producing 5 more wheel HP than the GT and comparable torque as well, between the weight advantage and this tiny amount of HP, is it really going to KILL a GT or just very slowly pull away from it?

an 8.8 rear end for 6-7lbs...r u serious. 3.73 swap with a good trac-lok, i can see that. but a full 8.8 swap is a bit of over kill unless you are plan'n on run'n 14lbs. or more. im run'n 11lbs. on a 308c.i. with a 7.5 and no problems. it's just my opinion. its like put'n an 8pt cage in a geo metro...sure it's great to have, but do u really need it??? with only 6-7lbs. i dont think you are anywhere near pushing the performance envelope of a 7.5 unless you are planning on turning it into a 500+hp v6. im sure someone will correct me if im wrong.

They're talking about Escort GT's. If you're really good on the stick, you might even beat the occasional Probe GT.

[DaDant!]

wow... joe.. do you ever have anything nice to say? all the posts ive read ur being a smartass. but oh well i dont really care.

im not big on bash'n ppl's dreams, but i have to agree the term "gt killer" may have been used a bit too loosley, at least at the current boost level.

[1234]

Maybe they just didnt specify which model year GT.

you are right, i suppose a stock '83 would get a mud hole stomped in it. i think it should been a 14-15lbs. kit to throw that phrase out there.

Exactly.

[StangPride]

I was interested in this set up myself. There are alot of guys on mustangforums.com that have the X Charger set up. There suppose to be making about 300-305RWHP and they say its instant. So Im sure a stock 05+ mustang GT it would beat. Then again a GT with bolt on mods, prolly wouldnt. There arnt alot of great numbers with it though. There is alot of talk online about a Intercooler for it so that would be great. Just google the X Charger and youll see all kinda talk about it and like I said the guys on that site have alot of input.

If I get mine, Im getting it through Steeda cause I dont like the K&N intake. As far as a 8.8 rear. I dont think you would need it. There are a couple guys with older V6s with cams,heads, turbos pushing over 400hp with 7.5, t-lok and gears and there ok.. Unless you have that extra money I wouldnt worry about.
